Iridium Pilot — plans

Monthly voice and data plans for the Iridium Pilot (OpenPort) maritime broadband terminal — for vessels with a Pilot system already on board.

Prices, stock and checkout live in the shop — this page is the full briefing first.

Pilot hardware has been superseded by Iridium Certus
We no longer sell the Iridium Pilot terminal. Monthly plans for existing Pilot systems remain fully available below — for a new installation, Iridium Certus is the current maritime broadband service.

Iridium Pilot monthly plans

Four monthly plans, all at the full 128 Kbps connection speed — the difference is the inclusive data bundle and the rate for data above it. Call the team to activate a SIM or change a plan.

*US$5 per month discount for Direct Debit payment included. **Standard voice calls are calls to any landline or mobile/cellular network.

Monthly plans have a minimum term; the first month’s service charge is pro rata, the last month’s is not and is payable in full. Monthly airtime is quoted in US Dollars (excluding VAT) because this is the currency Iridium works in — Direct Debit invoices are issued in GB Pounds Sterling converted at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of billing.
